Aeon Flux: The Purge question

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Aeon Flux : One Thread

In that one scene a bit after aeon wakes up in the chair on the stage, and trevor tells one of his [?children] to 'go do what we talked about' what does she say? "Mutatis Mutandis, he did what -needed- to be done."

what's the first part of that actually say?

also, i think the nursry rhyme goes:

Blinks minx, the old witch winks, the fat begins to fry. Nobody home but jumping Jone, father mother and I. Stick, stock, stone dead; blind men can't see. Every knave must have a slave, you or I must be he.

As far as I can tell all the girl says is "Mutatis Mutandis, he did what was needed to be done" Aeon then replies "Have I been implanted?" and the girl says "Have you"? Btw, you answered a question for me, I never knew what mutatis mutandis was. After reading this I looked it up and found out it's Latin and means "that having been changed which had to be changed". The little thugs speak latin!

woah... so it was 'Mutatis Mutandis' damn i'm good

The root of the word mutation? I took it to mean the destruction of mutation, or perhaps the mutation of mutation. Although not speaking latin this was mearly a guess. So I wait, and wait then somebody defines it. The meaning is quite similar don't you find. I think that Mark uses to much licence.

I love that nursery rhyme!

I hereby propose a massive and pointlessly violent expedition to kidnap everyone who had a writing credit on 'The Purge' and hang them up by their thumbs until they tell us *exactly* what the first two syllables of that rhyme are. I've seen a thousand phonetically similar offerings, but never two that agree...

i'm fairly 100% sure that it says 'mutatis mutandis' i guessed that to begin with (guessed the spelling too) and it appears as though i'm right

also a google search came up with this http://www.mutatismutandis.org/

makes sense, no?

I think he means the "hinks minks" rhyme. Hey look, I answered it!
